/**
 * Interface for retrieving all possible and settable values.
 *
 * While possible values specify which values existing data might have, settable
 * values define the values that are allowed to be set by a user.
 *
 * For example, in an workflow scenario, the settable values for a state field
 * might depend on the currently set state, while possible values are all
 * states. Thus settable values would be used in an editing context, while
 * possible values would be used for presenting filtering options in a search.
 *
 * For convenience, lists of both settable and possible values are also provided
 * as structured options arrays that can be used in an Options widget such as a
 * select box or checkboxes.
 *
 * Note that this interface is mostly applicable for primitive data values, but
 * can be used on complex data structures if a (primitive) main property is
 * specified. In that case, the allowed values and options apply to the main
 * property only.
 *
 * @see \Drupal\options\Plugin\Field\FieldWidget\OptionsWidgetBase
